From Lowly Cultivator to Unseen Power: Wang Chen's Quiet Rise (Web Novel) - Chapter 228: 500
Chapter 228: 500
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Wang Chen’s Five Suns Qian Thunder had reached the level of Great Achievement, so he was extremely familiar with this thunder magic.
The Five Suns Qian Thunder could not only target a single object to strike against but could also perform an area cover attack on a large scale, with the power of the thunder bundle depending on the spellcaster’s cultivation level.
Once struck by the Falling Thunder, one would be fatally injured on the spot if serious, or at the very least, their Divine Soul damaged and Physique impaired, leaving them unable to move.
Cao Chengping, the Purple Mansion Superior, had truly risked his life to suppress Wang Chen, unleashing his full power with countless thunder bundles densely covering a vast area.
And sealed off Wang Chen’s space for evasion!
At the critical moment, Wang Chen summoned a Mysterious Iron Tortoise Shell Shield.
Positioning it right above his head!
This shield, acquired from a Guiyuan Gate cultivator, was a first-tier superior magic artifact with rather impressive defensive capabilities.
Although he had just briefly refined it and couldn’t wield it as flexibly as his own limbs.
It won him a sliver of a chance in the nick of time.
Crack!
A thunder light struck directly onto the shield, instantly creating a fissure on its surface.
Wang Chen’s control over the superior magic artifact immediately became sluggish and difficult.
Without a second thought, Wang Chen abandoned the Tortoise Shell Shield and ‘Shrinking Ground into Inches,’ flashed dozens of steps away.
The instant his figure reappeared, he violently flung his robe sleeves upward, and the Fire Crow Sword shot toward Cao Chengping who was floating in mid-air, as fast as lightning!
This strike condensed ten parts of Wang Chen’s strength, also imbued with the power of Geng Metal at the Great Perfection level.
As well as Qian Sun Thunder Force!
The Flying Sword broke through the air, actually producing the sound of thunder, arriving in an instant before Cao Chengping.
The sword’s fierce and violent momentum made the Purple Mansion Superior’s complexion drastically change!
He had already highly estimated Wang Chen, but now realized he had still been too careless.
Given that Wang Chen’s displayed strength had reached, or even surpassed, the peak level of Qi Cultivation.
This sword, he dared not take head-on!
“Haste!”
The Purple Mansion Superior’s eyes displayed fury as he bellowed in a low voice, pressing both palms downwards as his figure swiftly soared skyward!
Purple Mansion cultivators could connect with the great apertures of heaven and earth, capable of soaring bodily without relying on magic artifacts.
However, due to the absence of Spiritual Energy in the mortal realm, Purple Mansion cultivators faced greater constraints than Qi Cultivation cultivators, which is why Cao Chengping had previously pursued Wang Chen using a Flying Artifact.
Faced with the formidable threat of the Fire Crow Sword, he shook his mana and instantaneously ascended about thirty feet, narrowly avoiding Wang Chen’s counterattack.
However, in his wildest dreams, Cao Chengping had not anticipated that the Fire Crow Sword would follow him upwards, spiraling at high speed around him like a parasite attached to bone, cutting against his magical armor!
In just the span of a breath, Cao Chengping’s Body Protection Magical Armor had been weakened by at least fifty percent!
The Purple Mansion Superior immediately felt as though his soul was escaping, and in a panic, forcefully swatted at the Fire Crow Sword.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Fire Crow Sword was forcefully knocked away.
But Cao Chengping lost control of his mana to maintain his airborne state and plunged sharply downwards!
It was at this moment that he was struck by a spine-chilling sensation.
What was Wang Chen doing?
The thought had just flashed through Cao Chengping’s mind when a pair of fists, gleaming with a pale golden light, slammed heavily into his body.
Vajra Fist!
Boom!
The Purple Mansion Superior instantly flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing into a large tree.
Crack!
The large tree was brutally broken by the impact.
And Cao Chengping, who landed on the ground, had an extremely ugly expression, with his protective spiritual light severely dimmed.
He flipped his wrist, revealing a dark wooden tablet, and shouted vehemently, “Stop, or else…”
This wooden tablet was Wang Chen’s Soul Tablet!
All Inner Sect disciples stationed in Great Qian were provided with a Soul Tablet from a fragment of their Soul Lamp’s soul power, crafted by the Grand Heavenly Master who oversees the Qian Capital.
Because the environment of the Mortal realm is special, Purple Mansion Cultivators are more suppressed than those cultivating Qi, which greatly reduces the power gap between the two in the Immortal Cultivation world.
In order to prevent the Guarding Heavenly Masters below from succumbing to evil or demonization and losing control, such an arrangement was made.
However, under normal circumstances, the Chief Town Heavenly Master also can’t easily use the Disciple’s Soul Tablet.
But now that the Cloud Sun Sect is no more, and Cao Chengping, who has joined the Guiyuan Gate, naturally has no reservations.
Before, he had been confident in his status, thinking that he could capture Wang Chen with just his own hands.
But he almost capsized in the gutter.
Now, Cao Chengping could not care about anything else and immediately revealed his trump card!
However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Chen fiercely charged in front of him.
Another punch was hurled towards Cao Chengping!
Wang Chen’s Vajra Fist had already reached the tier of Great Perfection, and his Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method had also advanced to the fourth level of the Flawless realm. His Physique was stronger than many Purple Mansion Cultivators.
Close-quarter combat was exactly Wang Chen’s greatest advantage over Cao Chengping!
How could he give this Purple Mansion Superior any chance to breathe after he had just managed to bring him down from the sky?
Crack!
Cao Chengping forcefully crushed the Soul Tablet, his face twisted in a fierce grimace.
Without the complete spellcasting process, he couldn’t rely on the Soul Tablet to curse and kill Wang Chen.
But as long as he could harm Wang Chen’s Divine Soul, with Cao Chengping’s means, he could turn the tables immediately!
Boom!
To Cao Chengping’s immense shock, the Soul Tablet didn’t have the slightest effect. Wang Chen’s fist, mountainous and ocean-subduing, with its incredibly fierce and violent power, struck him again.
Suddenly, a burst of Spiritual Light exploded from Cao Chengping’s body, and a Jade Decree hanging from his waist instantly shattered.
This Body Protection Spiritual Artifact had blocked a fatal blow for him.
However, before Cao Chengping could even catch his breath, Wang Chen’s fist came hurling at him again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cao Chengping took three consecutive punches; the protective Spiritual Light completely dissipated, and he stumbled in retreat, spitting blood.
He collapsed to the ground with a defeated look.
“Spare my life!”
This Purple Mansion Superior begged piteously for mercy, his aged and decrepit form looking utterly pathetic.
Spurt!
The Fire Crow Sword descended from the sky, instantly piercing through his head!
“Ergh.”
Cao Chengping’s body jolted, eyes wide with rage.
He stared intensely at Wang Chen, his throat making gurgling noises as he tried to say something, mouth gushing with blood.
Suddenly, the light in his eyes extinguished completely as if a candle flickered away in a storm.
When Cao Chengping’s corpse fell, he still clutched a Magic Artifact he had just taken out from his Storage Bag.
Begging for mercy was a ploy; his real intention was to launch a sneak attack on Wang Chen!
[Heavenly Merit +500]
“Cough cough!”
At this moment, Wang Chen sat on the ground, powerless, clutching his chest as he coughed violently.
Coughing up blood.
With five punches, he had broken through Cao Chengping’s defenses but was also injured by the latter’s Body Protection Spiritual Light. His Qi-Blood and Mana were in complete disarray, and he had lost the ability to continue fighting.
At this time, any ordinary Mortal Martial Artist could have possibly taken his life!
After taking out a Healing Pill and swallowing it, Wang Chen circulated his Qi to regulate his breath, calming the tumultuous Qi-Blood within.
He slowly recovered.
